Pastor Luke Simmons explores what Jesus means when he says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). In this message from our series “A Blessed Life,” Luke unpacks what the Bible means by “heart,” why purity of heart matters, and how it clears or clouds our vision of God. He also shows how we can pursue a pure heart through trusting Christ and guarding what we allow to shape our inner life.
